This doesn't work in X3.

I'll fill out the bug report. This feature is very important to me, as the music I compose frequently uses more than 4/4 time, and 1/4 notes.

This doesn't work in X3.

Can you elaborate?  I will attempt to repro and confirm.
 

This is tricky, because it involves both the snap setting in the track view, and the snap setting in the PRV.
To reproduce
1) Open project with simple instrument tracks, and view the tracks in the PRV.
2) In PRV -> View, select Grid Resolution -> Follow Snap Settings
3) The problem: Changing the snap setting in the PRV (top right) has no affect on the grid resolution.
 
Now, to reproduce some quirky behavior:
 
1) Change snap setting in PRV, e.g. to 1/32. Note that it has no effect on grid resolution. Zoom in to confirm.
2) Change snap setting in track view, to anything, e.g. Whole. Note that the grid resolution in the PRV changes to the correct setting for the PRV, e.g. 1/32.
 
This means: Changes to PRV snap settings don't affect grid resolution until you change the snap setting (to any value) in the track view.
 
It looks like the refresh to the PRV is missing after you change the PRV snap setting, but the refresh finally gets triggered when you change the snap setting in the track view.
 
Thanks!

Mine seems to snap to what ever it is set to.  If I tell it to snap to 1/8 note in the control bar...the PRV will snap to 1/8 note.  But if I tell it to snap to 1/16 note in the upper right hand corner of the PRV it will snap to 1/16 regardless of what it is set to in the control bar.
 
Unless I am misunderstanding what you are referring to....mine seems to be working as it did in X2.

1. Snap works fine in PRV -- to whatever I set it to in the PRV snap.
2. That's not the issue.
3. The issue is that the grid lines won't show according to the snap settings.

Thanks.

I just clicked the "follow snap settings".  Now when I change the snap setting in the control bar....the PRV follows that snap setting regardless of what the snap setting is at in the PRV.  I would think that is how it is supposed to work.....hence the name "follow snap settings".  I maybe wrong but that is how I would interpret it.
 

No, Teds_Studio, I believe that the "Grid Resolution" setting refers to how the grid displays.

This is a carryover issue from earlier versions. You have to toggle global snap off and on (hotkey N) with every change in PRV resolution to get the grid to follow.

Within the PRV go to View and select "Show Vertical Gridlines"

Below that, select "Grid Resolution" and set it to whichever resolution you need.
 
The Grid Lines and the Snap Settings do not affect one another, they are separate entities.
